OverallIs this location worth a sunset visit?

The Helmhaus is an extension of Wasserkirche (Water Church) of Zurich, first mentioned in 1253 as a court of criminal justice, at which time it was a simple wooden structure covering the eastern end of the bridge. It was extended to a larger wooden structure in 1563, and replaced with a stonework hall in 1791.

The location has a fairly nice view of the church but it doesn’t offer unique features for sunset.
Visibility to the sunset is good but the horizon is blocked by the buildings nearby.
It is a walking distance from several railway stations and bus stops.
No crowds on the bridge although there are quite a lot of pedestrian.
